• Budget-Friendly: Uses inexpensive pantry staples.

• Kid-Friendly: Even little ones can help with the simple steps.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 200 g Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended for best results)
• 200 g self-raising flour (you can substitute with all-purpose flour + 1 tsp baking powder)

How to Make It

1. In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-raising flour.
2. Stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough begins to form. This might seem a little sticky at first, don’t worry!
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a thin crust for a crispier pizza.
5. Transfer the dough to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
6. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning to the dough.
• If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it’s easier to handle.
• Don’t overcrowd the pizza with toppings; this can make the crust soggy.
• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.

Recipe Variations & Substitutions

• Whole Wheat Flour: Substitute half of the self-raising flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
• Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free yogurt alternative, ensuring it’s thick and creamy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your 2-ingredient pizza hot, straight from the oven. It’s delicious on its own, but you can also pair it with a simple side salad or garlic bread. A light, crisp white wine complements the pizza perfectly.

Storage, Freezing, & Reheating Instructions

Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap the cooled pizza tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Reheat in a preheated oven or microwave.

Recipe FAQs ❓

Can I use almond flour instead of self-raising flour?

While almond flour can be used in baking, it will likely result in a denser and less pizza-like crust due to its different properties compared to wheat flour.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature before rolling it out.

What kind of yogurt is best?

Full-fat Greek yogurt is recommended for the best texture and flavor.
